I'm ashamed to admit when State went up 9, I turned the radio broadcast off. I came back to it and Bama had tied the game at 52. From there it was stressful, but this team stuck together and pulled it out. They really deserved something good to happen to them. Now, can they put together back-to-back efforts and take care of a reeling Arkansas team next game. At the very least, Alabama can split the final four.

Unbelievable second half by Hillman and what a game by Alonzo Gee. He stepped up and put this team on his back. It was beautiful. Also, despite State hitting, I think, 11 3-pointers [on 30+attempts], I thought Alabama played very well. on the defensive end.

Yeah, too many turnovers, though Torrance was better with the ball as the game went on.

RS should've moved to the 2 once it became obvious that he didn't have the same skills. It's always great to beat $tate and hopefully this win increases confidence. We still had several end of game errors but pulled this one off. Maybe Gee will become the go to guy at end of games, that's what has been missing.

I'd be satisfied if we could close out the season 3-1 then take a game or two in the SEC tourney. That would build some momentum for the new coach next season. It would be great to end the road losing streak in Oxford or even better in Knoxville. The Vols are definitely beatable.

As for the new coach I'm officially on the Mike Anderson bandwagon as my #1 choice, even over Izzo. What CMA accomplished at UAB and now Mizzou has been awesome. I just think CMA's style of play is better suited to the athletes that we normally recruit to play basketball. Regardless it's gonna be at least a month before we even start hearing rumors about potential coaches. Maybe Vegas can post some odds on our new coach when I'm out there next month.
